Dekker is already a known name, or should be after he just helped Zillah to a undefeated record and the 1A state championship. He’s an athletic wing who can score from all 3 levels and knows the game well. His coahcing staff and teammates trust him so much, so much that they let him take the last shot in the championship game. He missed the 3 that he took, but showed high IQ by following his shot, grabbing the rebound and make the game winning layup. He’s a top riser in the class after the season.
Highlights
West Seattle had a great season and a fantastic run at the end of the season, winning some games in the Metro tournament. Sully is a lengthy guard who has great control of the ball when facilitating the offense. His size helps him rise above opposing defenders and his strength helps him get to the bucket when driving the paint. This summer is going to be a special one for Janiwade.
Highlights
Seamus was named honorable mention in the WESCO and had a very improved season. He’s grown a little and is likely not done yet. The thing that stands out for Williams is his grit on defense and wanting to win. He will fully guar the opposing teams best player and will bring the intensity to stop them and fire up his own team. I’m excited to see how his offensive game grows over the summer.
Carter is a player who is going to be a big name prospect in the class of 2026. He’s 6’8″ and moves super well for his size. He runs the court well and has improved his jumper and dribbling abilities. His shot from deep was already impressive given his size, but now he knocks down deep shots with ease. Cohen plays aggressively in the paint and isn’t afraid to get on the court for a loose ball.
This Lummi Nation guard has been a big part of the team for the last 2 seasons. Toby is a dynamic guard who controls the pace of the game extremely well. He knows where his spots are on the court and his vision is up there with the top of the class. He showcases all aspects of his offensive game during the high school season and during the summer his playmaking abilities and vision on the court stands out with top talent surrounding him on the court. Toby is a rising point guard in this class.
